Hey guys,
I am having problems when trying to paste text from Microsoft word. the pasted text becomes unreadable / corrupted. Well here is my situation, I have a large number of text that I'm trying to insert into Corel Draw X4.
and if I convert the word document to PDF, I receive the same thing. I tried importing the text as image, worked but can't edit the text nor the text is in good quality (quality is very poor, cannot be used for plot)
Any suggestions would be great guys. I am using Microsoft Vista x64 / Arabic enabled (can type just about everything in MS Word/Excel etc...)
By the way, I can type the text in corel, and it works great, but I have some 200 pages, so you get the idea! it's hard work for me to type all the 200 pages :(
Thanks guys for all your support
Hello,
I am not sure what exact issue you are seeing. Can you attach sample word document with arabic text so that I can test it.
Couple of points to remember are :
1) CorelDRAW X4 doesn't support opentype features. So some ligatures may be lost during copy-paste. CorelDRAW X6 supports full opentype features.
2) If you cannot directly copy-paste text from word to Draw, try pasting the text from Word to Notepad and from Notepad to Draw.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for your reply, I have attached a word document containing some text I would like to insert into CorelDraw X4
Seems to be working fine on my system See attached file, I copy-pasted text directly from your word file in CorelDRAW X4.
However, I had to change line spacing as copy paste messed up the line spacing.
After seeing your attached file, what a surprise! although there are some corruptions in the test. can it be fixed? as an example look at the first two words...they don't match up at all..text should be Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
and
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
but I'm going to test it on X6 as soon as I purchase it. thank you so much for your help
by the way...I tried to copy and paste the text onto word pad...seems to work perfectly on word pad only! :)
can't thank you guys enough for your help! but the text cannot be edited in Corel Draw, I can't see the small dots of the text to edit it. nor I can use the WELD option. this is essential because I have a plotter.
best regards
Guys I still have a problem regarding copy and paste...when I copy a text from MS word or notepad and paste that text into CorelDraw, the text cannot be WELD
This option is very important because I want to use the text in a plotter (I edit the text and make the wholes in the text bigger so that when I plot it, the wholes gets bigger as an example bellow
Thank you guys for all your help
cuterido said:cannot be WELD
Have you converted the text to curves (Ctrl+Q) before you weld it?
I find that just welding Live text does not produce the result you would expect.
